>Official document that proves the family tie: i.e. marriage certificate if the applicant is married to a Peruvian
Hello Eva.
Thanks again for your informative pages.
BTW, one piece of information missing from your family visa page is:
Marriage certificates from a Peruvian marriage registered in a provincial municipalidad,
for example, say, Ayacucho, are not necessarily registered with RENIEC in Lima.
The applicant must request a copy of the marriage certificate from the provincial municipalidad. Upon applying they must inform the provincial municipalidad that the copy is required for a residency application, if not the wrong authority may certify the document and it will be rejected by RENIEC in Lima on the next step. My first attempt was rejected and I needed to get another copy signed by a higher authority in the provincial municipalidad.
Make a photocopy of the document you receive from the provincial municipalidad.
Pay at the 'Banco de la Nacion'
for a 'Solicitud de Authenticacion de Firmas'.
Pago S/ 31.00 Codigo 02143
The copy, the photocopy and the paid comprobante then need to be taken to
Other RENIEC offices do not process the 'Solicitud de Authenticacion de Firmas',
for example, I was rejected from the San Borja office.
Join the 'certification' queue outside the office door.
RENIEC will give you a form to fill in.
Take everything inside RENIEC and apply for your 'Solicitud de Authenticacion de Firmas',
which takes one week to process.
